2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I run proprietary Nvidia drivers as well and Wayland runs so much better than Xorg now that I'm permanently coming over to Wayland. I'm extremely happy rn with Wayland

    I use i3 and kde on void with an amd gpu, i tried kde wayland and sway (and i check on them every few weeks), but I've found them to be buggy and sway in particular to be very difficult. I honestly have no idea why it's been like this for me, i look forward to the day wayland is truly as good as x11

    KDE/Wayland has become stable for me with AMDGPU only in the last 6 months or so. They seemed to have had a lot of trouble on that.

    Sway always worked for me, though.

    For me the switch was simple the only issue I do encounter from time to time is lockscreen related. What's not working for you?

    Prolly the biggest thing is sometimes when i launch sway dmenu completely fails to work, and then on kde there's little bugs that show up, one that comes to mind is the bar at the top of windows that has the max min and close buttons rendered completely transparent

    Maybe you'd have better luck with rofi... There's also wofi. can't say much about the kde issues though.

    KDE and Wayland works perfectly, at least if you are on 5.27 or even Plasma 6 beta.
